Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 15 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is decent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Maple Ridge side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Hope this helps!.
